Murray's Appointment

We had the appointment for Murray's Weight and Height.

We got there and we had to do a wee for them and he got weighed and measured. He was 13.8kg and 90.7cm. Then we had a long wait as the Consultant was running late. A lovely lovely guy who really reassured us that Murray is developing well although between the autumn and winter months he appears to stop growing. So the GP is to care for us and any problems we'll go back and see the Consultant. Although Murray is the size of a 22 month old he's got a large head for his size. But he reckons by Puberty Murray may well shoot up. Then he decided we had to have xray's done just to check his bone structure and size and bloods done just to check everything. This was where it all went wrong. They chose to do his bloods done first. Unfortunately he has really crap veins and after 2 attempts on his arms they gave up and took blood out of his hands so he now has plasters everywhere. He was screaming and I found it really hard going. I was having to hold back the tears. He got snake plasters and they gave him a model plane for being such a good boy. The xrays went well.
As a special treat for being in so much pain from all the needles he got Power Rangers SPD 3 on DVD and a chippy for tea. Just need to wait on the bloods and xray's being reviewed as to if there are any other problems but he is a healthy well developing wee boy the consultant said.
Thanks for all the thoughts.
